Generate a call graph for a java program - Eclipse

6k Views Asked by At

Is there any sort of support in Eclipse whereby I can programatically generate a static call graph for a single method in a class, at build time?

I would like to be able to determine all of the methods that may be potentially called from a given class method.

I am not interested in a visual graph. I'm looking for an API. It doesn't even have to be Eclipse.

Eclipse has something called a Call Hierarchy. Highlight your method, right click and select Open Call Hierarchy. In addition in Windows you can use the keyboard shortcut CTRL+ALT+H.

Call heirarchy and call graph are different. Eclipse "Call Heirarchy" will provide backward trace. Where Call graph is forward trace. "Modal goon" plugin provides this feature.
